Problems solved by technology
As a result, individual hotels daily generate large quantities of laundry, which require vast amounts of electricity, detergent, and water.
Unfortunately, many times these signs and instructional cards are often lost and / or not replaced, or are not seen and used by the hotel guests.
Additionally, they may also go unnoticed by housekeeping services, even when used properly.
As a result, housekeeping services often unnecessarily replace a room's bedding and towels.
